Hybrid Full-time

Anara is hiring a Founding Designer

About the Role

Anara is hiring a Founding Designer to lead all things design as we reinvent how scientists discover information and work together. This is a senior/staff level role where you will build the foundation of a design culture that will impact scientific research for decades.

What You'll Do

  • Talk to users, translate conversations into product features, improvements, and fixes, and work with engineering to ship them.
  • Build the design team as the company scales, including hiring, establishing design processes, and fostering a culture of rapid iteration.
  • Own all aspects of visual identity across product, marketing, socials, and brand.
  • Define and implement design systems, documentation practices, and workflows to build visually consistent, high-quality features quickly.

What We're Looking For

  • You are quick, scrappy, and first and foremost a hacker/builder.
  • You have at least a few years shipping complex but beautiful features to real users.
  • You have excellent taste for well-crafted interaction design and UI details.
  • You have worked in a high-growth, fast-paced environment and can drive things forward with relatively little oversight.

Team & Environment

You will be a founding member of a small, tight-knit team with huge ambitions. Design at Anara is lightning fast, typically taking features from idea to high-fidelity design in days.

Benefits & Compensation

  • Compensation: $120K - $180K + equity: 0.50% - 2.50%
  • Premium healthcare (medical, dental, etc.)
  • Flexible working hours
  • Office space with a beautiful view of the SF marina and Golden Gate bridge

Work Mode

This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco.
